How to deny access to a file in .htaccess

by

Within an htaccess file, the scope of the <Files> directive only applies to that directory (I guess to avoid confusion when rules/directives in the htaccess of subdirectories get applied superceding ones from the parent).

So you can have:

<Files "log.txt">  
  Order Allow,Deny
  Deny from all
</Files>

For Apache 2.4+, you’d use:

<Files "log.txt">  
  Require all denied
</Files>

In an htaccess file in your inscription directory. Or you can use mod_rewrite to sort of handle both cases deny access to htaccess file as well as log.txt:

RewriteRule /?\.htaccess$ - [F,L]

RewriteRule ^/?inscription/log\.txt$ - [F,L]
